xss-cross-site-scripting

xss-cross-site-scripting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from miru-zero/zero-brain. It costs 36 tokens per session (3,760 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of xss-cross-site-scripting, MIT.

A security playbook for finding and understanding cross-site scripting, or XSS. XSS happens when attacker-controlled content is treated as website code and runs in another user's browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports security reviews of XSS risks, including context-specific payloads, browser behavior, and advanced attack scenarios.
Why use it?
It helps identify unsafe paths from user input to HTML, JavaScript, uploads, and other browser-rendering points.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

xss-cross-site-scripting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to xss-cross-site-scripting — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

SKILL: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: This skill covers non-obvious XSS techniques, context-specific payload selection, WAF bypass, CSP bypass, and post-exploitation. Assume the reader already knows <script>alert(1)</script> — this file only covers what base models typically miss. For real-world CVE cases, HttpOnly bypass strategies, XS-Leaks side channels, and session fixation attacks, load the companion SCENARIOS.md.

Extended Scenarios

Also load SCENARIOS.md when you need:

  • Django debug page XSS (CVE-2017-12794) — duplicate key error → unescaped exception → XSS
  • UTF-7 XSS for legacy IE environments (+ADw-script+AD4-)
  • HttpOnly bypass methodology — proxy-the-browser, session riding, CSRF-via-XSS
  • XS-Leaks side channel attacks — timing oracle, cache probing, performance.now() measurement
  • Session fixation via XSS — pre-set session ID before victim login
  • DOM clobbering techniques for CSP-restricted environments

Advanced Tricks

Also load ADVANCED_XSS_TRICKS.md when you need:

  • mXSS / DOMPurify bypass — namespace confusion, <noscript> parsing differential, form/table restructuring
  • DOM Clobbering — property override via id/name, HTMLCollection, deep property chains
  • Modern framework XSS — React dangerouslySetInnerHTML, Vue v-html, Angular bypassSecurityTrust*, Next.js SSR
  • Trusted Types bypass — default policy abuse, non-TT sinks, policy passthrough
  • Service Worker XSS persistence — malicious SW registration, fetch interception, post-patch survival
  • PDF/SVG/MathML XSS vectors, polyglot payloads, browser-specific tricks
  • XS-Leaks & side channels — timing oracle, frame counting, cache probing, error event oracle

Before broad payload spraying, you can first load:

  • upload insecure files when you need the full upload path: validation, storage, preview, and sharing behavior

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
